Received mine on Friday (12/4/09) and absolutely loving it. It was a long over due for me to change my N95 that I had since launch.

Fortunately, haven't had any reboots or issues so far :)

Agree. N900's sound quality is damn good comparing to my ipod classic 120gb. I'm sort of an audiophile so this was great news :D

received mine this morning and yes I'm impressed. Can;t quite get the scrolling properly yet without accidentally opening windows but I'm getting there.
WOW to the sound from the media player through the earphones and wicked resolution (in the 9 trailer).
Had one or two reboots but it's much happier now I'm on 3G for soem reason. Screen protector i got was useless. very thick- totally unlike another i had on my 95 and it's a fraction too big.. so hunting for a nicer one.

After all the hassles etc I'm glad you've got yours before Xmas too. I reordered from nokia.co.uk (play.com still say 31/12/09) and still only got mine on Friday. Luckily Nokia got their act together in the end!
BTW I assumed that screen protector was just packaging.

Damnit!

Finally received, and t-mobile coverage completely dies about a mile before my house, even though coverage map says it's got "good" coverage.

This is one sweet little device though, hopefully the next version supports 3G on AT&T :/

matmull: Don't you just use your own wifi at your house?

Re: N900 Owners Thread (First impressions, ...)
 
I have wifi at the house, but I really need cell/data service at and around my house, for things like walking the dog, bike rides, etc... Is there a way to force calls to go over skype instead of celluar, but have it be seamless?

Plus if the car ever broke down on that stretch of road when I was alone with my little kids , it would suck not having a cell phone.

Edit: I think my previous post made it sound like just 3G/edge didn't come in, but I lose cellular as well.

This is my 24 review of the device. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36498

Its fantastic, its awesome it works really well. The hype about the awesomeness is true.

I am sorry for those who have had issues but i am certain they are a minority.

All thumb-boards take some getting used to.
I find the iPhone keyboard *really* hard to use the few times i have tried it, but the N900 was easy to use, and after an hour or so of use it was really easy and fast.

This fooled me as well, but you need to use the "cursor mode", I wrote it up here : http://fatmaninfi.blogspot.com/2009/...0-browser.html

Facebook I would prefer an app for this as browsing the full site is annoying as the web pages don't lock to the screen size there is always a little missing and very fiddly.

Try http://touch.facebook.com it was designed for touch devices apparently.
